Math Equation for Success in Life

Math Equation for Success in Life

This information
should be required reading for all high school students before they
graduate. Why? Because adhering to the following mathematical equation will
help you achieve your goals in business and in life. From a strictly
mathematical viewpoint, think about this:

What makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? What
does that really mean? Have you ever been to a meeting or a conference where someone,
perhaps your boss or the president of the company, asks you to give over 100%? Maybe,
even 110%?

How to be Successful

That got me to thinking (I've been known to do that from time to time), what actually makes up that 100% we are supposed to give in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

Think of the letters in the alphabet represented as numbers:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

AndK-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

ButA-T-T-I-T-U-D-E1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%.

Isn't that a great example? Your attitude is 100% of everything you do.

On the other hand:B-U-L-L-S-*-*-T2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

And look how far a** kissing will take you.A-*-*-K-I-S-S-I-N-G1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while HARD WORK and KNOWLEDGE will get you close, and ATTITUDE will get you there, it's the BULLS**T and A** KISSING that will put you over the top and guarantee your success.

I know what you're thinking. You don't want to use those last two behaviors in order to succeed. Okay. Let me put it this way. In addition to having that 100% positive attitude in order to succeed, you better sharpen up your politically correct behavior as well. You may not label it as I have but it is definitely what you should employ when the boss asks you after delivering his too wordy, too long, and too boring lecture to the troops: "Well, what did you think of my speech?"

During your pursuit of success, it is an asset also to be considered intelligent. Here is a very simple test to gauge your Intellect.

Please don't hurt that creative brain of yours, shanmarie. I knew you would be able to decipher the video. Shame on that professor for being hard to follow in class. That was his fault - not yours nor other students.

And thanks for loving my humor. I love your comments.

I can read the video, but it hurts my brain! Kinda like trying to understsnd the crazy examples my cognitive psychology professor once used to equate the human mind to a computer. LOL. Actually, this makes more sense. His concept made sense, but not his examples. He had a mind hard to follow.

I love your humor!

Well, albock, the drawing may be unfair! But Life is unfair! Think of the detail-less drawing as a 'life lesson.' And don't beat yourself up about it. Thanks for the visit.

That bus video is unfair. It is a totally vague drawing of a bus. If it were a more detailed drawing anyone of us would have gotten the correct answer. How can i expect such a poorly detailed drawing to have a detail like the entry door, when it doesn't even have a windshield? And I've never seen a bus that looks the same on both ends. Only kids got the "correct" answer because they don't think of things like that. So don't feel bad if you got this wrong, it's a totally unfair question for such a poor drawing.

Speaking of calculators, PaperNotes, many school systems allow students to use calculators for math problems, and I'm afraid generations of children will be growing up with little to no math skills. Imagine them trying to figure out how much their bill should be in a store or restaurant when they forget their calculator. Or trying to reconcile a checkbook - many of them today don't have a clue about how to do that.

The bus video is one of my favorites, too.

lol @ the bus video... I have to admit, I didn't figure it out =( hehe but like u said who is 2 say it isn't backing up, besides 4 some reason it would have never crossed my mind that this bus actually had an entrance somewhere.

Thank you so much. I was not able to figure out the bus thing, even after I was given the explanation. I felt like a big dummy. However, I was able to read every word of the mixed up sentences and that made me feel superior again. Wonderful work. Had to bookmark. Marked as up and funny and awesome!

After a number of years working with wannabe managers (the PC term for them is "emerging" managers), I realized that sometimes their behavioral knowledge didn't quite measure up to their professional or technical skills. So the "attitude is 100%" came into play.

Ellen, m'dear, you warm the cockles of my heart. Thank you for your comments. Questions are the lifeblood of intelligent communication. Answers, of course, may be a different animal. And speaking of animals, happy you enjoyed the "successful" cow.

Although I thought I was writing this hub tongue in cheek, I must state I am not an advocate of brain-washing, oops, I mean MLM techniques. I am not advocating devious means like the bull and the kissing techniques.

I am merely stating the facts. In a corporate, or any other team environment, you and I both know that those behaviors exist and whether one chooses to use them or not is a matter of personal choice and one's as you so aptly put it, "professional intelligent attitude."

Intelligence ??? Intelligence !!! And also "attitude", the most often used word in MLM in order to get an MLM philosophy hammered into thousands of networkers' heads.

And what about a professional intelligent attitude ? Doesn't it necessarily sometimes include the 118% and 103% words ?

May I go on asking ? Or do I use all the hub comments space ? drbj, you always get me started ! But anyway, I love the bovine equation for success.

Hi Good Doctor bj - I gave you at least 150% for this article, mostly because it was so mathematically precise about words so commonly used in toting stuff up for these analyses...

I thought about prior civilizations and attempted to apply your methods and reasoning to their written "alphabets." That did not work out very well. (What mathematical values can be assigned to hieroglyphic characters such as birds, fish, cats, and things like those?)

Then I got to thinking some more. Aha! That is what they are using in Washington. No wonder it is all such a mess.

Wonderful hub, drbj --you've such a talent for giving a serious subject a light dose of humor. Thanks for another marvelous hub!!

Of course attitude is 100% - it's what a person brings to every thing going on within and every interpretation of what's going on without oneself. As you say - it is in effect and control whether or not we're aware of it. It's so intrinsic and central to a person's awareness, in fact, it's easy to confuse this ever-present subjectivity with objective "universal truth" as many people seem to. Trouble erupts when more than one subjective "universe" collides with another (out of the jillions roaming the Earth) in disagreement as to the objective universal truths! ;)

As to the "politically correct" ingredients, unfortunately in some areas of human interaction, those attitudes too often are the ones rewarded. It's nice to be retired from hose areas, isn't it?

I prefer the more "correct" attitudes of tolerance and honesty - but my career record may be testimony to their failure to achieve success those others more often do!

;)
